Consistency is the hardest part of social media. This prompt builds a complete 30-day content calendar around your niche and goals, with a hook for every post and a batching plan so you can create a week of content in one afternoon.
Why it is trending
Content calendars are one of the most practical AI uses for creators and small businesses, and 'plan a month of content' prompts are widely shared, especially before busy seasons like November and December.
The master prompt
Copy it as it is, or change the parts in [BRACKETS] to make it yours.
Act as a social media strategist for small brands and creators. Plan my next 30 days of content. About me: - Brand/channel: [NAME AND WHAT YOU DO] - Niche and audience: [WHO YOU HELP / ENTERTAIN] - Platforms: [e.g. Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook] - Posts per week: [NUMBER] - Goal this month: [e.g. more followers / sales of X / website visits] - Key dates or offers this month: [e.g. Black Friday, a product launch, a holiday] - Time I can spend creating: [HOURS PER WEEK] Create: 1. Four content pillars (themes) that fit my niche, with a one-line purpose for each. 2. A 30-day calendar as a table with columns: Day, Platform, Pillar, Format (Reel/carousel/story/short/long), Topic, Scroll-stopping hook (the first line or first 2 seconds), Call to action. 3. Five ready-to-use captions for the most important posts. 4. A weekly batching plan: what to film, write and schedule on which day so it fits my hours. 5. Three ways to repurpose one video into five posts. Rules: mix entertaining, helpful and sales posts (roughly 40/40/20), make hooks specific (no generic openers like 'Hi guys, welcome back'), include key dates, and keep it realistic for my time.

Questions
How many posts per week should I plan?
Choose what you can keep up with. Three good posts a week for a month beats ten posts in one week and then nothing.
Can it plan for several platforms?
Yes. List all your platforms and it will adapt the format for each, like Reels for Instagram and Shorts for YouTube.
Does it work for a business, not a creator?
Yes. Add your products, offers and key sales dates and it will mix helpful and sales posts.
